Hey everybody... I would appreciate some recommendations from you... I need to share my documents between WinXP and Linux. Since NTFS was not recommended as a R/W FS, I went for FAT32. I therefore have the following partitions:
hda1 ntfs read-only C: (WinXP) hda5 vfat read-write D: (Data) etc... Since file permissions are not compatible with fat, I have to use the umask option in fstab. However, if I use umask=0, all my standard files become executables, and if I use umask=111, they are only accessible to root. I was wondering whether I should not use ext2 instead, and find some utility in WinXP to "mount" it... if any such thing exists... Otherwise, what would be best? I'm sure many of you must be facing the same issue... Your inputs would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Mathieu.
